"Hey, this Jeff from Two Wheeler Dealer, and I'm going to show you how to properly hang a bicycle for storage. Most common way to hang a bike is just with these hooks that you will screw into the wall or the ceiling. And you want to make sure that you get them into a stud and they're securely mounted. And you'll just hook it through the wheel. Usually it'll go into the wall as such. You lift the bike up, hook it down, and then it'll hang vertically from the wall, or you can also hang it from the ceiling. You don't run any risk of damaging the wheels or anything by hanging it this way. It's probably the most common and simple method. Another way that you could use to store your bike would be with a pulley system that you can attach to the ceiling, and it'll lift from the handlebars and the seat straight up to the ceiling just by pulling a rope. And then you tie the rope off, and it's securely hung up in the rafters of your garage or wherever it be. These are a few options of how to properly hang a bike for storage."
